soon this gene-editing tool could be used to tackle everything from cancer to high cholesterol and infertility The key to CRISPR is the many flavours of “Cas” proteins found in bacteria ...

CRISPR-Cas tools allow researchers to modify individual building blocks of genetic material in a precise and targeted manner. Gene therapies based on such gene editing are already being used to ...

and in a large-scale bioinformatics study of CRISPR loci and CRISPR-associated (cas) genes published last year, a possible molecular mechanism for this prokaryotic RNAi system was proposed by ...

2024 — Researchers have uncovered a serious side effect of using the CRISPR-Cas gene scissors. A molecule designed to make the process more efficient destroys parts of the ... New Gene Drive ...

A research team led by Prof. Cao Xiaofeng at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese ...

Researchers have discovered a handful of new CRISPR-Cas systems that could add to the capabilities of the already transformational gene editing and DNA manipulation toolbox. Of the new recruits, one ...
